About the game
What you do in a play session
Picture running the ultimate cat café: in Cat Lounge, you'll balance naps, playtime, and purrs while designing the perfect space for your feline guests. This game blends tile drafting and spatial puzzling on a circular clock-like board — each slot represents a time of day when cats will do their favorite activities. Your challenge is to place the right cats at the right times, creating scoring combinations. But beware: resources are limited, and you'll need to wisely use management tokens to refresh options or adjust your café layout when the cat supply isn't ideal. With adorable art and simple-yet-strategic mechanics, Cat Lounge is that game that'll make you smile while planning every detail to please your four-legged clients. Perfect for cat lovers or anyone seeking a family-friendly game with meaningful choices without overwhelming complexity.
